Chocolate Frosted Baked Donuts

Chocolate Frosted Baked Donuts feature whole wheat pastry flour and coconut sugar for a mildly sweet and tender texture. These baked donuts are topped with a smooth chocolate frosting made from chocolate chips and coconut oil, providing a glossy rich coating. Baking rather than frying yields a lighter donut with a tender crumb, and the frosting adds a satisfying chocolate finish.

Ingredients

Donuts
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour or cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, at room temperature, full fat
  • ¼ cup almond milk unsweetened
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and stir until combined.
  3. In another medium bowl, whisk together coconut sugar, Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, vanilla and coconut oil.
  4. Add wet mixture to dry mixture, and stir until just combined.
  5. Spray two (6-cavity) donut pans with cooking spray. Spoon or pipe batter evenly into the 12 cavities.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan for 2 minutes. Invert donuts onto a wire rack.
  7. While donuts are cooling, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heat-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring between each. It should take about 2-3 minutes total for the chocolate to melt.
  8. Once donuts have cooled completely, dip/coat each donut into the melted chocolate, one at a time. Use a spoon to coat until completely covered. Place chocolate covered donuts on a plate or baking tray lined with parchment. Repeat until all donuts are coated.
  9. Place donuts in the fridge or freezer until chocolate has set. Enjoy immediately. store in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt is recommended, but non-dairy yogurts could work as a substitute for a dairy-free or vegan version.
  • For egg substitution, a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) may be used.
  • Cane or granulated sugar can replace coconut sugar if needed.
  • If whole wheat pastry or cake flour is unavailable, all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour can be used as a 1:1 substitute.
